Smart Coffee Machine System

Showcase how we can decouple long-running tasks from HTTP request processing in REST API by introducing a distributed system using Azure Service Bus as a message broker to asynchronously handle messages, and Worker Services as message consumers, and Redis to track long-running tasks' status.

Network Topology using Azure Service Bus

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

1. Azure Service Bus namespace (please see article below on how to create a namespace and generate a connection string)

Development

1. Run "dotnet run" in Web API application to run the REST API.
2. Run "dotnet run --no-build" in Services application to run the consumer instances.

For detailed description on the development journey and how things work, please see resource articles:
